The Olympian goddesses create the Amazons to teach humanity the ways of Gaea. After the Amazons forget their purpose, and fall prey to the machinations of Ares, a group of Amazons led by Hippolyte rededicate themselves to their task. Time passes, and when Hippolyte yearns for the child she never had, the goddesses tell her to create a child from clay, which they animate, and whom the queen names Diana. After Diana has grown, the goddesses ask the Amazons to choose a champion to confront a new scheme of Ares'. Diana wins the competition to be champion and heads out into Patriarch's World.

As General Kohler gives Colonel Steve Trevor a surprise assignment, Diana waits for the gods to reveal her mission. Hermes first takes Diana to Harmonia to get an amulet that will help her track down Ares, but they rush back to the Amazons' island to stop Colonel Trevor from dropping a bomb on Themyscira and rescue the Colonel from a watery grave. Athena appears to tell Diana she is now prepared for her mission and Hermes leads Diana, carrying Colonel Trevor, to Man's World. But Phobos and Deimos, the masterminds behind the plot to bomb the Amazons, are not through with Diana.

Diana figures out that Harmonia's talisman warns of World War III and that by joining the image on the talisman to its opposite in a mirror she is able to take Etta, Julia, Matthew, and Steve to face Deimos and Phobos. When Diana cuts off Deimos' head and recovers the other half of the talisman, Phobos flees. Joining the two halves of the amulet, the group is instantly transported to a missile base where they face General Tolliver and finally Ares himself.
